I was born in Iran. On my Spanish passport it reflects my place of birth, along with the name Mohammad, which I don't use. This fact alone has impacted how I've been treated. 1/8
In school I was bullied for many years both psychologically and physically (they broke my leg in 3 places among other things), and I was constantly facing derogatory comments. Having been overweight for much of my childhood and teenage years, only made things worse. 2/8
During my adult life I've been subject to racism and discrimination, whether it's traveling to certain countries or being given looks or treated differently when using public and private services in Spain and them saying that I'm not "really" Spanish. 3/8
